A LIVING WONDER.
A Freak of War-Ali Pasha, Transparent
Turk-The Greatest Marvel of the Age.

The results of war are heartrending in tho
extreme. Men have received wounds and have
survived. which, nine hundred and ninety nine
times out of thousand, are necessarily fatal.
A portion of the brain has frequently been shot
away and the victim has survived the lungs
have been pierced with rifle ball, and the
wounded man has recovered and lived years
afterward. The latest, and perhaps most
wonderful case which has developed to
puzzle scientific minds was exhibited
last week at Chicago, where the community, by
thousands and tens of thousands, have flocked
excitedly to see Turk named Ali Pasha, who
had been shot through the body and, the wound
having healed, left hole large enough to see
through. The distinguished Turk was the
staff of the Sultan in the war between Prussia
and Turkey, and at the battle of Plevna cruel

There were but few soldiers who were not

Five Minneapolis Saw Mills Burned.

Last Saturday night the 10th, there was
a brilliant but destl uctive confirmation at
the foot Of Hennepin Island, near the great
Pillsbury mil, East Minneapolis. The FIRE
originated in the McMullen & Co mill, at
the southerly extremity of the group, and
extended northward with surprising rap
idity, until the mills OF Messrs. Eastman,
Bovey & Co.. c. A. Smith & Co, Cole &
Weeks, and Merriman & Co, were com
pletely e~nyeloped and destroyed, the nu-
merous streams OF water having no per-
ceptible effect upon the burning mass.
The aggregate capacity OF the five mills
for ten hours was about $50, 900 feet.
Some OF the mills were running nights, and
Z. 4. Smith & Co.'S and Eastman, Bovey
q Co.'S were running when the fire broke
out. The loss on buildings and machinery
is complete, a~ggregating S2O3, 900, with in
surance amounting to 127, 500. There is
no salvage worth speaking of. The ma
chinery was subjected to so intense a heat
and so much water that it is comparative
ly worthless.

The change from spirituous to fer
mented liquors which is so marked a
feature of the drink statistics of the
United States, is clearly shown by the
internal revenue returns for July of
this year. The revenue from the tax
on malt liquors was $204,7 1877 in ex-
cess OF that collected in the CORE
spending month OF 1886, while there
was an actual decrease ofS178, 540in
the collections on spirits. This may
be regarded a movement favorable to
temperance, or rather, against drunk
enness, which is more apt to follow
the consumption Of spirituous than
Of fermented liquors.
